BECOME A LEGEND with Sword Drives - Sword Shaped USB Drives inspired by your favorite swords from pop-culture! Created by HERO'S ARMORY, the team behind The Key Armory & Sword Clips, Sword Drives are incredibly detailed, well-made and designed for the practical nerd.

ARM YOURSELF by backing our Kickstarter, and we will send you the Sword Drive(s) of your choice! Check out all of our designs below, and pledge by selecting one of the rewards to the right!

Sword Drives are crafted using an extremely durable metal alloy. In addition, we use genuine SanDisk USB drives to assure the absolute best quality possible.

We've been hard at work to assure our USB drives are expertly crafted and designed. We've partnered with the same manufacturer we partnered with on Sword Clips, who have gone above and beyond to provide the absolute best possible quality for each product. After the Kickstarter campaign ends, we promise to continue working as hard as possible to assure all of our customers are satisfied with his or her Sword Drives!

Slightly smaller than one of our keys, each Sword Drive feels perfectly weighted in your hand. We've designed them to look great in your computer while also fitting just about anywhere with ease. In addition, each design is as thin as possible, making it both compact and convenient.

From the beginning, we wanted each design to be compatible with a keychain, allowing our customers to take their Sword Drives with them everywhere they go! Each Sword Drive features a loop at the top of the design that fits perfectly on your keychain.

We're starting our Kickstarter campaign with 5 designs inspired by some of pop-culture's most popular swords. Check out our designs below. Please note that the final designs may vary slightly. If the campaign goes well, we'll unlock an additional 5 designs as Stretch Goals (see Stretch Goals below).

Our 5 Stretch Goals will allow us to bring an additional 5 designs to life, all of which will be voted on by our backers!

Each time a Stretch Goal is unlocked, backers will vote for their top 3 designs. The design with the most votes wins & will become our next design! Check out some of the options for potential future designs below:

Note: By default, Kickstarter lists the rewards to the right based on price. For this reason, the rewards may appear to be out of order. When you select your reward, please make sure to click the correct pledge!

Timelines are extremely important! After running several different Kickstarter campaigns, we now know and understand what it takes to make a campaign successful. We've been working tirelessly to assure that the below timeline is possible, and we're confident with our ability to fulfill on time! Check out our estimated timeline below:

We've now launched a variety of different Kickstarter campaigns and we are very familiar with the shipping costs associated with each product. Check out a quick breakdown of shipping costs below:

In summary:Domestic - Shipping within the United States is $2, or free if you order 2 or more USB drives.Worldwide- Shipping to Canada is $10.00, and shipping anywhere else throughout the world is averaged to $15.00

These charges will be added to your pledge when you choose to back our Kickstarter campaign. They are not surprise charges you'll receive later. In addition, it should be noted that these are nearly identical to the shipping costs on our end - we will not be profiting from the shipping charges we are getting from our backers.

Note for international backers: We've never had anyone mention anything about additional custom charges for our items in the past. So while we can't guarantee anything, we think that custom charges will not be an issue.

Sword Drives will become the fourth product from Hero's Armory! We've focused on creating legendary products for the everyday hero - meaning practical items that you can use in your everyday life. All of the above products (with the exception of Sword Drives) can be purchased now at HerosArmory.com. Sword Drives can be pre-ordered exclusively right here on Kickstarter!

Kickstarter has proven to be an incredible effective tool to help us connect with those who are interested in our products! We've been lucky enough to run 3 successful campaigns prior to Sword Drives, all of which were fulfilled on time and to the satisfaction of our backers, so we know what it takes to run a successful campaign!

In addition, Sword Drives has proven to be our most expensive project yet. The USBs are high quality and durable, and we've also gone the extra length to use a real metal alloy (as opposed to a cheap plastic) to assure each drive is the best quality possible!

Kickstarter makes it easy for us to reconnect with our existing customers, bring new and awesome things to life and raise awareness for our newest products. Thank you for continuing to help us bring successful projects to Kickstarter!

Risks and challenges

Because we've already successfully funded and fulfilled several past Kickstarter projects, we understand the possible risks and factors that any given project can succumb to. Luckily, however, this also means that we understand the best practices to use in order to deliver a high-quality project on time.

We have everything setup and ready to go, with our manufacturer simply waiting for funds to begin mass production. We are confident that we can deliver on time and provide a high-quality product that will last for years to come!
